Transportation
The Emergency Fund
pays for victims to flee away from an
offender.
Will
the fund pay for transportation to/from court
visits?
No. The Emergency
Fund does not cover expenses
for transportation to/from court visits.
My
victim has a car and would like to relocate to another state
away from the offender, will the Emergency Fund pay for
gas?
Yes. The Emergency
Fund will pay for gas for a victim to relocate. You will need
to get the total mileage of the trip and submit to Program
Manager. The Program Manager will give the advocate an
approved amount for gas. We can not provide "up front"
funds therefore a third party will need to provide the funds
for the victim. We will reimburse the third party ONLY
with gas receipts.
Will the fund
pay for a plane or train ticket?
Our general method of transportation is a
bus. However, there are occasions that bus travel isn't
feasible. This will be considered a special request and
will be submitted to the Emergency Victim Assistance Committee
and grant administrator for approval.
